Thanks Krzysztof. I did apt-get install pinentry-qt4 although it was an older (0.8.3-2) version than what is on gnupg . org. It installed without any errors but when I run gpg2 --gen-key I'm still getting:
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number generator a better chance to gain enough entropy. gpg: agent_genkey failed: No pinentry Key generation failed: No pinentry There is no delay in the error - it occurs at the same time the text above is displayed. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
